The British government announced, on Saturday evening, that it reserves the right to respond to attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia on commercial ships in the Red Sea.

A short while ago, a British Navy agency reported that a ship was subjected to a missile attack by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, 60 nautical miles southeast of Aden.

This morning, the US Army confirmed that it had carried out a strike against an anti-ship missile that the Iranian-backed Houthi militia was prepared to launch into the Red Sea.

He revealed that the tanker Marilyn Luanda reported damage but no casualties as a result of being hit by a missile, stressing that the US destroyer "Carney" and other coalition ships are providing assistance.
